St. James takes il for granted that
when Christian has learned TO mas.
ter his tongue he must have overcome
every other fault, for he does not
hesitate to declare that whoever Of
iendeth not In words is q perfect man,
80. Even in the earliest days, when
Christians were few In number, and
were distinguished from the heather
among whom they lived by their
mutual love, these sins Of the tongue
prevailed to no small extent.
What is worse yet, we sometimes
mud that these individuals are too
willing to initiate the ssints-not in
charity, however, but only in exterior
matters, j1st as Horace says that in
bis days there were those Ia Rome
who thought they could acquire the
character Of Cato by looking grim
and going bare footed. > Let
us Gail TO mind an Eastern proverb,
which expresses forcib'y the wisdom
OF regulating the tongue; Before you
speak word you are its master;
after you have spoken 1t you become
its slave Spiritual writer's give three
rules, which, II observed, will pre-
mote telf respectaud increase our hap-
piness:
First-It you cannot speak we'll Of
your neighbor, do not speak OF him at
all.
Second-Never say in the absence of
another wha. you would not say in
his presence; and
Tnird-Do not say of another what
You would not want another to say OF

ought to be we shall be as calm and

command. Love your enemies, do

for them that prosecute and calumni.

The text announced by the ra tor
was Romans xii, 2: "But be ye trans
formed by the renewing of your
mind" The text WAS viewed ss set
over against the preceding clause /:
"Be not Confirmed 10 this world" 1t
was shown that our being not con
formed TO the world was dependent
upon our being "transfoI med" by the
g'ace Of God. This transformation
was d. clared 10 be the effect of the
"Ienewing Of our minds," the regen-
Grafton and gradual ssnctiicstion of
our souls. To be thus transformed"
therefore, implied aud neressjtated
supernatural influence OF Gods spirit
upon mans spirit, v hereby the nature
of man would undergo a radical
change, This transformation would
certainly be manifested (1) ia the in
dividusl's views of himself "a a gully
a d perishing sinner; (2) in bis views
OF Jeeus Chris, rs his only, lis able,
his willing and his eeded Savior; (S)
In his views OF his relation to the
church; (4) in his views of his rela.
ton to the world, to time and eterni-
ty, to heaven and hell. In practical
application Christians were exhorted
to view the difference between the
church and the world rs one deep, es-
sentisl, everlasting.
AT THE AFTERNOON SERVICE
ct 5 80 o'clock, instead Of a sermon
there was lecture upon some of the
general facts OF Egyptology. TIE sub
iect was chosen for two reasons: First,
because the international system Of
Sabbath school lessons is now Running
through the Book of Exodus; second,
because the appearance in the May
Century OF the photographs OF the Phs-
roahs OF the Exodus, has swakene!
deep and very general interest The
obi ect OF the lecture was to give brief
view of Egypt; the dynasties, the
value Of the discovery Of the Rosetta
stone;" the archol@ gical explo-
rations which that country
has been undergoing; the pc.
culiar means OF information en-
joyed by those who devote their lives
to Egyptology; and the correspond
ence between the truth ascertsined
by science and the truth made known
by Revelation. In conclusion, the
exholt,tou was pressed upon the
young 10 look upon their Bb'e as
Gods word, having its evidence in
itself evidence irrefrsgable, immuta-
bic, and for this very reason to bid |
science Godspeed, assured that truth,
whenever ascertained, would be true |
to tru.a and to the God OF all truth.

JACKSON. Mis-, May 10 The dedi-

interest. The beautiful temple was

Bishop Galloway preached the dedi-
cation sermon, taking for his text

effort; fully equal to the grand oc-
casion. 1t was during DR. GAlloWays
pas crate tbat the work of building
new church was undertaken. His al
lusions TO the old church were very
tender. The Scriptures were read by
the venerable John G. Jones, who
preached the first sermon in the old
church, about half century ago. The
Rav. W. +. Ballard, former pastor,
offered prayer. The following former
pastors were also present: j. l.. For

1t Will Stay.

The New York Herald, ever a
conservative journal, refers to the
next Presidential campaign as fcl-
lows:
The leaders Of the republican
party are in a quandary. They
see more clearly every day that in
1888 they must fight against odds
which have been assuming dan
gerous proportions since Mr.. Cleve-
land moved into the White House.
The President has done so exas-
peratingly well on the whole and
the Democratic party has handled
the ship so skillfully that the re-
publican nose is out of joint. The
reforms which the Republicans
professed, but studiously neglected,
the Democrats have practiced.-
During the last two years and a
half there has been a succession of
dynamite explosions, and frauds
which grew by what they fed on
under a republican regime have
been blown into smithereens.-
The country feels itself safe. The
government is conducted on con-
servative, economical and honest
principles. Everybody is satisfied,
and everybody, like Oliver Twist,
is asking for more of the same

A Successful Administration
Cleveland Plain Dealer.

One of the arguments usedfin
the campaign of 1884 againstthe
election of a Democratic President
was that Cleveland would make
such changes, by putting in in
competent men, that the civil SER
vice of the. country would be Grip
pied and the wheels Of govern
ment stopped. The alarmists have
not only had their predictions fall
sifed, but the civil service of the
country has been strengthened by
a gradual pruning of the twenty
five years accumulation of dead
wood and the placing of the frie :ds
of the administration in nearly 20
per cent. of the offices. The civil
service of the country was never in
the history of the nation in a more
perfect condition than it is to-day.
The business interests of the coun-
try are almost unanimous in the
support of Grover Cleveland's ad-
ministration. And why shouldn't

that had settled upon the country
up to the time Cleveland was in
augurated has disappeared, conf
dence is restored and business is
in as healthy a condition as could
be wished for. Cleveland's ira
ducers Of 1884 have been compel
ed by facts to acknowledge the err
ror of their predictions.
No executive ever sat in the
White House who has made fewer
mistakes than Grover Cleveland
and none were ever more willing
to correct those mistakes than he.
The Republican papers, like a law
yer with a bad case, are talking
about everything else but the ques-
ton at issue. There is nothing to
be said against the administration,
as it has been as near perfect as it
could have been under the existing
circumstances. .rt.

John w. Davis, who. Will be the
first Democratic overnoro of Rhode
Island since the Republican party
came into existence, is in his SIX
ty-frst year. He is a native of
Massachusetts, but has lived in
Rhode Island since 1874. Engag-
ed in active business for the great
er part of his life, while he is not
a millionaire, he is in comfortable
circumstances. He has never been
an ofice-seeker, and did not desire
the nomination which was CONFER
ed upon him by the Democratic
State Convention. He has, how
ever, always been an earnest DEM
ocrat. He enjoys. the respect of
the best men in the State without
regard to politics, and will doubt
less make as good Governor as
Rhode Island ever had.

Senator Sherman and the South.
N. Y. Herald.

We print elsewhere an "inter-
view" with Senator Sherman sent
by a Herald correspondent. Mr..
Sherman's account of that part OF
the South he saw is encouraging.
He is right in saying that every
manufacturing establishment down
there will make protectionists and
therefore republicans. We regret
to see the Senator Claiming" Ger
tain Southern States for his party
on the old pretense that they would
go republican if the negroes were
not intimidated. That is very
stale nonsense. If the republican
leaders want to secure some South
ern electoral votes next yearle them
send men like Sherman, Blaine,
Allison, Hawley, Edmonds, Evarts,
Frye and ingalls, into those States
to address the people and make a
thorough canvass for their party.
That is the way in a free country
to get votes and carry States, and
that's the way the republican lead
ers have, to their disgrace and loss,
too long avoided.

Cleyeland's Popularity.
Utica ObserVer.

If President Cleveland does not
make a triple the West during the
coming summer it will not be be-
cause he has lacked invitations
enough. For example, he will
have an invitation to visit st. Lou
is that is signed by no less than
100000 persons. Lists have been
placed in every conspicuous build
ing in the city and nobody declines
to append his name. When they
are completed and all the names
classified the petition will be for
warded to Washington. No doubt
if the President decides to make
the trip to the West he will receive
a welcome surprising in warmth
and hospitality any that has yet
been rendered him.
